Finally Home

The flight home....









Finally Home...




The Embassy: The Embassy appointment was as smooth as silk. We were there for a total of an hour and 45 minutes. The infamous interview portion lasted about 2 minutes...all that worry and lack of sleep for nothing.

The journey home: We left Guatemala City at 7:30am and arrived in Houston at 10:15. We had the dreaded customs interview, which was a piece of cake, followed by a 3-hour layover. From there we left for Chicago and landed at 5:15pm. Then, we loaded up in the van and started for home. We had a brief stop over at Ninnie & Papa's house (my parents) to pick up Patrick and Jillian. We walked in our front door at 8:51pm.

The kids: The cutest thing EVER....when we got home, all three kids looked like they have always been together. Matthew, speaking only spanish and Pat & Jill, speaking only english, somehow held entire conversations and understood one another. As I sit here typing this blog entry, Patrick and Matthew are playing with their cars and talking to each other. I don't know how, but they are communicating.

We will have an open house sometime soon but we want Matthew to adjust to his HUGE change first. If anyone would like to come by in the mean time, please feel free to stop in.

Paz,
Todd
